So He went throughout Galilee
This phrase indicates the geographical scope of Jesus' ministry at this point in the Gospel of Mark. Galilee was a significant region in ancient Israel, known for its diverse population and fertile land. The Greek word for "went throughout" is "ἐλθών" (elthōn), which implies a purposeful journey. Jesus' movement throughout Galilee signifies His intentional outreach to various communities, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 9:1-2 about a great light shining in Galilee. This highlights the inclusivity of Jesus' mission, reaching out to both Jews and Gentiles.

preaching in their synagogues
The synagogues were central to Jewish religious life, serving as places of worship, teaching, and community gathering. The Greek word for "preaching" is "κηρύσσων" (kērussōn), meaning to proclaim or herald. Jesus' choice to preach in synagogues underscores His role as a teacher and His respect for Jewish traditions. It also reflects His strategy of engaging with the Jewish community in familiar settings, using the synagogues as platforms to reveal His message of the Kingdom of God.

and driving out demons
This phrase highlights Jesus' authority over evil spirits, a recurring theme in the Gospel of Mark. The Greek word for "driving out" is "ἐκβάλλων" (ekballōn), which conveys a forceful expulsion. This action demonstrates Jesus' power over the spiritual realm and His mission to liberate individuals from demonic oppression. It also serves as a testament to His divine authority, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's power to overcome evil. The casting out of demons is a sign of the in-breaking of God's Kingdom, where evil is defeated, and people are set free.

(39) And he preached.--See Note on Matthew 4:23.
